		<h2>About</h2 >
		<p>
		This visualization shows groups of Amazon.com reviewers, the products that they reviewed, and the scores that they gave.<br>
		The reviewers that reviewed the same three or more products are grouped together. Then the median between of the scores that group members gave is calculated.<br>
		In the chord diagram it's possible to filter by placing the mouse over the arcs that compound the circle. Detailed information will be displayed in a tooltip when the
		mouse is placed over a chord or an arc.<br>
		The objective of the visualization is to create a graphic representation of the "possible fake reviewers" as described in <a href="http://www.cs.uic.edu/~liub/publications/WWW-2012-group-spam-camera-final.pdf">Mukherjee, A. Liu, B, Glance, N (2012)</a>
